Default Setting both Pressure and Mass Flow at a HeaderInlet

Hello,

I am trying to model a header with one inlet and five outlets. Essentially, I wish to define a mass flow rate and pressure at the inlet so as to obtain the resulting pressures and flow rates at the five outlet boundaries.

Does anyone have any insights into how to go about doing this? The available boundary condition settings in STAR do not seem to allow me to set the problem up this way.

For example, do I need to combine the five outlet surfaces into one part and use a mass flow inlet boundary to specify total pressure, then use derived parts for the pressure readings?

Thanks in advance.
